Hi,
I've just finished a prototype of a Bemba letter board where I've imported and scripted AIFF sound clips to play under mouseDown for each letter. This is for the Gates Foundation funded Lubuto Library Zambian Language Literacy Programming Project, which is using Etoys exclusively:
http://www.eifl.net:8080/gallery2/v/plip_001/Lubuto+eIFL_net+PLIP+Project/
Though my source audio is very crisp and clear, the audio plays back in Etoys with reverb on OLPC XO, Mac and Windows PC. Checking some other Etoys files with sounds, I notice that reverb is prevalent. I had just assumed before that there was some quirky reason those files were authored that way. Here is the second alpha of my project:
http://squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10270
And how I scripted each button:

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the reverb?
Curiously, when I loaded my file into Bert's experimental Etoys for iPad, the sounds played without reverb.
Mike
Mike,
I posted a project that fixes the problem http://squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10275 it uses a world script that executes on open. I changed the script to textual code and added this line: SoundPlayer stopReverb from Bert's suggestion in http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-697

Thanks very much Steve!
Now I have an opportunity to learn how to access and tweak world scripts.
I'll be able to use your modified file at Lubuto's demonstration table at the IMF Charity Fair tomorrow.

Steve or anyone,
I've encountered a situation where what was a working install of Etoys on an XO-1 running Sugar 802 had developed this error message dialog when trying to load a project file:
MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>membersMatching An error has occured; you should probably just hit 'abandon'. Sorry!
Photo here of the dialog followed by another photo of the log: http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouslee/5020410825/
I was able to abandon opening the project, and get to the Etoys menu bar. I loaded the file from the Journal with the Open File menu button. That got me through the demo at the IMF. During that same event, I got access to wifi and installed the latest version of Etoys from activities.sugarlabs.org and the Etoys project was able to load correctly.
I am conducting further investigation with my collaborators, but any advice would be appreciated.
Mike

Haven't seen an error like this. Next time, please attach the error log (something like .sugar/default/logs/org.vpri.EtoysActivity.log).
Regarding reverb, Etoys 4.1 (to be release next week) has a preference for that :)
